Towards Better Tendering is a ‘must-attend’one-day training course for council staff with tendering responsibilities who could benefit from a succinct training program to enhance their work.
Seminar program includes governance, tendering stakeholders, structure and content of tenders and how best to manage the evaluation of tenders. Also included in the presentation is a session on determining best value for money and how to prepare evaluation reports.
At completion of the seminar delegates will:

appropriate supplier;
